About the 1935 Goudey 4-in-1 Baseball set (R321)

1935 Goudey Baseball – the "4-in-1" set – was the Goudey Gum Company's last major baseball issue of the era, sold with Big League Chewing Gum. Catalogued as R321 in the American Card Catalog, the cards measure 2-3/8 by 2-7/8 inches. Each unnumbered front carries four color player portraits (most recycled from the 1933 and 1934 Goudey sets, eleven newly painted for 1935), and instead of biographies the backs are black-and-white puzzle pieces marked "PICTURE N – CARD X." No Goudey branding appears anywhere on the cards.

The 36 fronts cover all sixteen major-league clubs of 1935 – 144 player panels picturing 138 different men, six of whom (Bottomley, Brandt, Cochrane, Comorosky, Kamm and Mancuso) appear on two different cards. Nine puzzles exist: twelve-piece team photos of the Tigers, Indians and Senators, and six-piece portraits of Chuck Klein, Frankie Frisch, Mickey Cochrane, Joe Cronin, Jimmie Foxx and Al Simmons – 72 different backs in all.

The fronts were printed in six-card press panels, and puzzles 1 through 7 each ran twice with different panels – so eighteen fronts exist with four different backs, the six blue-border fronts (press Panel III) with three, and the twelve fronts confined to the team puzzles with two: a 114-combination master set, 42 of them short prints per Beckett's tags and the December 1995 Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector press-panel analysis. The checklist is unnumbered; this site follows the Old Cardboard / Burdick Collection convention, alphabetical by the upper-left player.

The set's key card pictures Babe Ruth with the Boston Braves – his final card as an active player – alongside 31 Hall of Famers in all. Two printed misspellings were never corrected: "MEYERS" for Reds shortstop Billy Myers and "MEYER" for 1935 AL batting champion Buddy Myer. The catalogs recognize no rookie cards in this set; the eleven subjects with new 1935 artwork are the closest thing to first appearances.
